The place to speak about Dev's current projects, and everything yet to come

Ok, this came up in another thread, and having been involved with something like this before, I think it is a really, really great idea.

The purpose of having forum shirts is mainly to have a way of identifying members at shows and events. It is important to use original and easily identifiable designs on the front and back so it is easier to pick folks out in a crowd. It is also important to make sure no copyrights are infringed upon.

The best idea for this forum would be to have Devin himself come up with some original designs, and put them up for sale in the already-existing HevyDevy CafePress store: http://www.cafepress.com/hevydevyrecords/933470

They don't have to be anything spectacular or amazing, just some silly sketches with a little colour that would stand out in a crowd. Of course, web addresses for the hevydevy site and the forums would have to be there somewhere, too. If we have Dev set it up, then he can make a little bit of money off of it, too. I think we'd all prefer that. However, Devin is a busy guy. I'll try and get in contact with him and see what he thinks.

If it is something Devin doesn't really want to get involved in, someone here can come up with something similar on their own CafePress or CafePress-like store, or some other printing company. The stores like CafePress work great simply because they are free. However, I don't believe anyone but Dev should profit from something like this. So, if someone else decided to do it, then they should sell the shirts at cost, with no markup.

Another option is to just decide on one of the current designs in here http://www.cafepress.com/hevydevyrecords/933470 and use that. However, I think it would be much, much cooler to have a forum-only design.

Ideas? Thoughts?

Mods, if you think this thread is better suited elsewhere, then feel free to move it.

Or, personalized:

YES!!!!! With a totally badass squiggle by Mr T on the front :D I was just saying to my neighbour today that I'd love a band tattoo but I wouldn't want to get something someone else has, so thought a violet drawn by Dev would rock; then I remembered he was a bloke and wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a violet or daffodil...

I digress; Amber and I discussed customised Tshirts for November as I'm always painting shirts for buddies, but a generic forum one we can all identify ourselves with would be AWESOME. If Dev doesn't wanna do it, we can have a competition! Although I think he should. Or I'll cry infront of him.

Lately... I've been dying for an apron with Dev's O-face on it.
I say we bring spatulas to the Decon-gig! Would be awesome for the DVD.

Okay, on-topic: I REALLY like this idea! :D We could even have a fill-in form on the t-shirts where we doodle our user names. Too goofy? YES. :D

This is such a great idea! I wonder all the time if I've been to Devin's shows and if there were forum people around...I'm too shy to strike up a conversation, but with forum T-shirts, I could very appropriately just go up and hug them! Or we could also arrange some kind of secret handshake. :)

Yes. Oh fuck yes! It would be the mother of all in-jokes.

I'm not sure...might be overkill *spoils it for everyone*, he had a lot of exposure about the spatula anyways.

Something more inside jokey...
